The beneficiary name is mismatched.

Payment method verification in progress

Your payment method has been deactivated because the beneficiary name on your payment method does not match the name on your Upwork account.
 
I need help with this notification. I've been using my bank ever since I started my account and this is the first time I encountered this notification. Thanks.

Hello, I added an ACH Bank and the name is exactly the same as my Upwork account but is shows an error: 'Payment method verification in progress Your payment method has been deactivated because the beneficiary name on your payment method does not match the name on your Upwork account.' I have tried countless times and it still doesn't work.

Please Help!!

Hello guys, 

 

I would like to know if my Payment method verification is still in progress, please?  I have already matched my name in my Wise account with the one in Upwork but I still don´t hear anything from Upwork regarding this issue.

 

Hopefully, you could help me.

 

Thank you!!

Evening, people 😊!

 

So, was I not surprised to find that Upwork deactivated my payment method because "the beneficiary name is mismatched". Only, I've been using this platform for a few months now and never had any issues from the start. I even verified my ID via those 2 steps (I think it was a selfie and sending some government documents).

So, what is happening 🤔?

Hello, today I wasn't able to draw funds from my account since it says that my Beneficiary name is mismatched which is impossible since nothing has changed in years. I've been trying to get a hold of someone in support but it has been impossible. Please help me resolve this situation as soon as possible.

Hi Matias, 

I looked into this, and I can see that you have deleted the payment method with the mismatch, and you have also filed a ticket with the Customer Support Team. I would recommend refraining from filing new tickets so that the team can assist you more efficiently and refrain from deleting your payment method to assist you with resolving that issue. 

Since you already have a support ticket regarding the same issue, I will ask the team to reach out to you soon to be assisted further.

I hope this gets resolved soon!

Hi! I am having a similar issue with getting payments where it is saying my bank account name and Upwork are not matching. I've been using the same accounts for years with no issue so I'm not sure if there is anything I should change.
